BROADCAST BIAS: Maybe Nancy Pelosi could get on the Mount Rushmore of House speakers
Fox News
Analysis reveals Nancy Pelosi grew stock portfolio by 16,930% during congressional tenure, while major networks avoided tough questions about trading restrictions.
Stahl just had to follow up that comedy with flattery: "If there were a Mount Rushmore for speakers of the House, Nancy Pelosi would certainly be up there, commemorating her 20 years as a commanding leader in Congress."
A New York Post analysis revealed that before first taking office in 1987, Pelosi and her husband reported between $610,000 and $785,000 in stocks in their portfolio — worth $133.7 million today, according to the latest estimates from Quiver Quantitative. That means that Nancy Pelosi grew her little nest egg by 16,930%.
In the last four years, the gush from the press has been remarkably excessive. Stock trading didn’t come up in 2022 in a George Stephanopoulos interview on ABC’s "This Week." Stephanopoulos asked then-Speaker Pelosi: "the [Biden] White House is warning of an imminent invasion of Ukraine. The Ukrainians seem to think that’s all hype. Do you believe that Putin is poised to invade?" Stephanopoulos even asked Pelosi if "Congress [is] doing everything you can to prevent an invasion?" Most laughably, he asked her what "should President Putin know from you, the speaker of the House, about the consequences of invasion?"
